Welcome to Litsy!

Only after I received this in the mail did I realize I'd read one of this guy's books before... and hated it. It's a scenario I like - ancient evil descends on a small town with a large cast of characters (Stephen King is rather good at this) - but it's a clumsy mixture of the kind-of-clever and just plain dumb, and the style alternates between clunky, brilliant, and overwritten, sometimes all in the same sentence.

It's downright embarrassing how hard this opening is trying to evoke "The Haunting of Hill House". And failing.
